Presently I haven't forgotten this, nor do I WANT to, but with passing time the memory could well fade, hence the event in rhyme :-   MY LONGEST SEIZURE Growing up with seizures, Though mostly, very mild, I had gotten used to them, Had had them, from a child. There was a quite severe one When I was twenty five, In hindsight, I am very blessed That I am still alive. No transport, but my bicycle, It was ten speed, the best, Faster 'twas, than walking, Of that, you can attest. I also did some swimming And in mid week would go A-cycling to the swimming pool Some laps do, to and fro.

                                                              I have many sweaters,                                          Though there's a 'special four'        Which mean the world and more to me, As memories, they pour.   Four differing styles and colours, Hand knited with much love By my dear loving mother, Who's now in Heaven above.   They're all now over thirty years, And still as good as new, The compliments I still receive, Mum, I give back to you.   They're of the Aran style, made So warm and cosy, too,      And know, whene'er I wear  them,  I always , think of you.

Often I remember,                                              How, with love, you cared,                                                Even when in adulthood,                                              Journeys, that we shared.                              When driving was a   ' NO'   for me,                                        Your love shone, OH SO BRIGHT,                                    YES, you were tired from working long,                                            Yet still went out at night                                          To pick me up from train station,                                                   So safe home, I arrived,                                           I loved those trips,  just us alone,                                           A strengthening bond, it thrived.                                  Approaching th’age you were, back then.                                             I’m sensing HOW you felt,
